Patient's question:
A 59-year-old woman knows she has discomfort in her body but hasn't used it to see a doctor. Please ask: What is polycystic ovary syndrome?Doctor's answer:
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine metabolic disorder in women of reproductive age. Clinical diagnosis primarily manifests as irregular menstrual cycles, infertility, acne, hirsutism, obesity, and other symptoms. Treatment typically involves oral contraceptives, corticosteroids, ovulation-inducing drugs, and other medications. Then, patients need to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular sleep schedule, and regulate their physical and mental health. In daily life, it is important to keep a positive mood, eat more light, soft, and watery foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
